It's the national year of reading in the uk in 2026. Instead of asking "why don't kids read any more", ask "how can I help them find the stories (and non fic) they will fall in love with". Less "get off my lawn whippersnappers" and more "come, sit on the lawn, here's a comic".

This is the neatest, most precise, summation I've read. I'll be misquoting this from now on.
this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.”
Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it.

I despise transphobes with my entire heart. Absolutely foul people
"Girlguiding had been facing legal action from a parent over its policy allowing transgender girls to join as members and trans women to volunteer in roles reserved for women, claiming it “exposes girls to harassment”
And presumably feared a sustained campaign.

My family watch Arthur Christmas every year. I can't imagine Christmas without it now.

A vote for Aardman’s chronically underrated and overlooked Arthur Christmas. James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Bill Nighy, Jim Broadbent and Imelda Staunton!
Part of a co-pro deal with SONY. CGI but all Aardman.
Well worth a look - especially if you’ve got younger kids. I cry every watch.

I try to avoid binary thinking, but...
There are only two types of people in the world.
"I had to suffer, so should they."
Or "I had to suffer, and I will work to help others so they don't have to."
